30 Days of Autism Acceptance Challenge - Day 7: Favorite Autistic Blog(s)

Apr 9, 2019

I am switching day 7 and 8, as the day 7 topic - The Autism Community - is not as easy to write about, and frankly, I've got a lot to discuss. In the meantime, enjoy!

Below is a decent list of great blogs and pages to follow, but by no means complete nor in any order. I cannot pick just one favorite.
